Chapter 61 Luo Yan's Doubts
What exactly did a passionate and resilient person like the captain go through to the point of despair and surrender?
Upon receiving news of Jiang Zhuo's surrender, the remaining four members of Qingyeyuan's side were all shocked and unable to calm down to deal with their respective opponents.
In less than two minutes, they were all defeated.
[Match Ended]
[Lan Zhi Yuan Team 1 wins]
From the moment the two sides met to the end of the battle, it took less than three minutes. This brand-new Lanzhiyuan team defeated Qingyeyuan team with overwhelming force, demonstrating a strength far exceeding that of previous years.
The students of Lanzhi Academy, and even the beast tamers of Lanzhi City, who watched the battle were all extremely excited.
The beast tamers of Qingye City felt like the sky was falling. They couldn't accept that the Qingye Academy team, which had been highly anticipated this year, had been eliminated in the first round of the preliminary selection, and had been thoroughly crushed by academies of the same level in previous years.
"Are you kidding me? Losing on all five paths? What the hell?"
"It doesn't matter. That beast tamer on the other side named Xue Youyou is too overpowered. There's no way we can win."
"This is incredible. This is the first time I've ever seen such a large pet, and it's only in its mature stage."
"To be blunt, even the Ten Heavenly Kings would be scared to tears if they encountered this."
"That's a bit of an overreaction. The top ten Heavenly Kings are too authoritative; you can't win by brute force alone."
"What's the point of arguing? We've already lost anyway. We'll just have to wait and see. We'll meet in the main competition sooner or later."
"..."
Training room.
After the battle ended.
One by one, the five members of Lan Zhiyuan stood up from the virtual battle pod.
As soon as Cui Yelan climbed out of the cabin, he gave Lu Yutang a thumbs up: "Amazing, Yutang, I didn't expect you to win."
A smile appeared on Lu Yutang's face as she replied, "I was lucky; the opponent also happened to be a support-type pet."
Then, Lu Yutang looked at Meng Yanqing and Xue Youyou, and asked excitedly, "Which of you is so fierce that you surrendered to the captain of Qingye Academy right away?"
No beast tamer would dare to surrender in such an important competition unless they were truly utterly defeated. Otherwise, they would be condemned by the public and it would become a stain that they could never wash away.
Of the five of them, only Xue Youyou and Meng Yanqing have the ability to beat someone into surrendering.
This is almost an unspoken understanding.
Meng Yanqing shook her head and said, "I'm not that fierce."
So, the group turned their attention to Xue Youyou, who looked completely innocent.
"I just wanted to gain more experience and wait for her to summon other pets, but she just ran away."
Xue Youyou felt wronged. She hadn't done anything immoral; she just wanted to gain more experience. But everyone looked at her as if she had deliberately tormented her opponent.
She doesn't have such quirky or niche hobbies.
Just then, Luo Yan, who had been barely noticeable, suddenly spoke up: "Captain... just now, while you were fighting, I had the Truth Machine analyze the Snow Woman."
Luo Yan sounded nervous; she had been hesitant to speak ever since the battle ended. Her question might offend Xue Youyou, but she simply couldn't suppress her curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou raised an eyebrow and said, "So you saw the Snow Maiden's panel?"
"No, apart from its level, the Truth Machine hasn't revealed anything, not even its name. This is too strange!"
Luo Yan became more and more excited as she spoke: "The Truth Machine is a fully-formed pet beast. It can analyze Meng Yanqing's Thousand-Leaf Immortal-Slaying Lotus, Su Wanrou's Dream-Weaving Fox, Cui Yelan's Death Bell Feather Master, and Lu Yutang's Green Bag Tang Fairy, but it just can't analyze a mature pet beast."
The facts unfolding before Luo Yan's eyes were beyond her comprehension.
Upon witnessing the stunning appearance of the Snow Woman, Luo Yan couldn't contain her excitement and had the Truth Machine secretly analyze the Snow Woman's stats. However, all they got was a level, with no other information whatsoever.
What's even stranger is that this level is clearly abnormal; it's not the level a mature pet should have.
Normally, mature pets are below level 30, but Xue Youyou's snow maiden is actually level 39.
It's important to know that there's no such thing as suppressing evolution in this world. If a pet reaches the level it should evolve into but fails to evolve, it will be stuck at that level forever. There's no such thing as a level 1000 Pikachu.
Luo Yan could only think of two explanations for this strange event.
Firstly, the Snow Maiden's evolution level is different from other pets. However, the probability of this happening is extremely low. To date, she has never heard of any pet that has evolved to its final form without reaching level 30.
Another possible explanation is that Xue Youyou deliberately had Xue Nu suppress her evolved form.
But what's the point of all this? Luo Yan racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.
All beast tamers know that if a fully evolved beast is used in battle in its mature form, it cannot use the new abilities it gained when evolving to its fully evolved form.
Sending pets into battle in their low-level form is widely considered a ridiculous and pointless act.
However, Xue Youyou simply smiled and remained silent in response to Luo Yan's question.
After pondering for a while, she replied cutely, "I don't know~"
Although she guessed that it was because the life aura of the Mythical Sign blocked the detection of the Truth Machine, she was not foolish enough to say it out loud.
Seeing that Xue Youyou was about to feign ignorance and evade the situation, Luo Yan wasn't about to let her off so easily and continued to press, "Captain, what's the level of your Snow Maiden...?"
However, before Luo Yan could finish speaking, Xue Youyou pressed her index finger to her lips.
Xue Youyou said slowly, "Little Luo Yan, every beast tamer has their own secrets. It's not ladylike to pry into their secrets."
When Luo Yan met Xue Youyou's icy eyes, which seemed to pierce through people's hearts, and saw a majesty completely different from her previous cute and innocent demeanor, she belatedly realized that the beast tamer in front of her was a genius monster of all generations.
The sudden sense of pressure made Luo Yan stand at attention immediately: "Yes, Captain!"
Xue Youyou nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, smiled and patted Luo Yan's head, then returned to her usual demeanor.
After Xue Youyou's gaze shifted away, Luo Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
What's going on? This guy is clearly the youngest one, yet he calls her Xiao Luoyan and even pats her head.
As a future animal expert, she will not be intimidated.
Luo Yan secretly vowed to find out what unspeakable secret Xue Youyou was hiding. She refused to believe that Xue Youyou could keep winning while concealing her strength as the Snow Maiden.
